After a five year break, the multi non-award-winning, unsponsored duo, Kayte Murphy and Kim Berry, are back behind the mic. They talk about whatever they want. It can be quite entertaining.

It's time to quit the negative self talk and worries about getting older. Also, kitten heeled jelly sandals are not OK and silk evening gowns seem questionable attire to the races. Or maybe we're just envious of boobs and bits not requiring support or absorbent reassurance. A two week break is in the offing. Probably best for all of us. Learn more about your ad choices.

A far reaching conversation from teenage body dysmorphia, to corruption inquiries as a stage for Oscar award winning levels of memory loss, comfort foods - then and now - and the joy of a good mani. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Off script, no script, no notes, FIVE STARS. Girl crushes, the need for a Miss World-esque sash, incriminating voice notes, age-inappropriate behaviour, the need for mapping quality public toilets when rectal integrity is not guaranteed, and more beauty product advice. It's fast, it's loose, it's probably our best yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
After an intense first half talking about the NDIS, conversation moves to the power of influencers, how adults can grow up, hair care routines, and the restorative power of a sausage roll. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
From doona days to internet fights, mood killers and deliberations on whether the most comfy jeans are in fact the ultimate give-up garment. Identifying super models and reminiscing about hot gardeners. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Kim has bounced back thanks to prescription melatonin but still struggles with words and coherent complete sentences. There is deliberation on the rules when it comes to wearing vintage fur and what it takes for Kayte to strut like she's on a Parisian catwalk. She then takes us on a journey to animal showing - rabbits, rats, birds, and sheep dog trials. And just as we have previously discussed the return of the bush, this week it is the return of culottes. Something for everyone! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
A number of TWs - addiction, depression, overdosing, self-administering medications. We are two middle-aged tired, lumpy and bumpy idiots - everything in this podcast is not medical advice. Kayte celebrates turning 53 by behaving like a ray of sunshine so bright it is almost beyond comprehension while Kim, 53 for seven months longer than Kayte, embodies her true gremlin of sadness, despair, and maudlin thoughts. It's good times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
It turns out Kayte's declaration of eyebrow maximisation was only about waxing. We talk threading and how perhaps updated beauty treatments are just not that bad. Or painful. Kim still hasn't found a pair of jeans - her courage in this quest is untold. Except on the podcast, where it is profuse. More make-up recommendations, and a serious chat about the adjustment to being a mum to adults. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This week Kayte ranks her top three funerals and shares the strict instructions for her own passing. In a complete turn of events, Kim is still moving and goes on and on about it. We meant to talk about the power of music on mood but forgot, so keep an eye out for that in Ep5. There are readers' questions and our Product of the Week. Let's go! Learn more about your ad choices.

Kim and Kayte deliberate on the difference of a story or a list of very boring facts. They call in the big guns of beauty and farshun (Jack) and Kim scores a make-over, taking at least 6 months off her appearance. Dream jobs, worst jobs, the latest health updates, and how Kayte's cat keeps cloning itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Kayte finds the shortcomings of Chat GPT when it comes to solving restlessness, we discuss the merits and deficits of an open fire, Kim reflects on moving following a medical misadventure, we reminisce on the awards we have won and how we're now using the modern iteration of Oil of Ulan (now Ulay to unify global branding, apparently). But most of all, Kayte makes Kim try a lip "stain" recommended by TikTok influencers. What could possibly go wrong. (Narrator: A LOT) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
After an unintended five week break, Kayte and Kim are back with tales of medical misadventure, confusing (ex) ABC royalty Sarah McDonald with sugar hater Sarah Wilson, finding a fountain of youth in Bali for $6, how much Prince loved the puss and so much more.

A bumper edition as we bring Season 1 of The Hot Flush v2.0 to a close. Kim monologues about the NDIS, Kayte monologues about friendship and delivers the second of our regular 'Products we love' segment (a record for us) - in Season 2 we might actually make it regular. Maybe. We go through a haul of readers' questions, laugh like witches stirring a cauldron, and all the usual nonsense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Kim comes across as completely sane by revealing her imaginary arch nemesis, Kayte is well and truly over being her new GP's latest science experiment. We travel down memory lane, Kayte reflects on her brushes with fame, Kim explains the joys of the Puffing Billy, and we commiserate on the challenges of getting a wee sample.

Kim forgot to take her dexies and Kayte is waiting for the Coloxyl to kick in, which means there is no better time for Kim's oversharing, Kayte's crankiness, unsolicited medical advice, and relationship guidance. Get on board. (NOTE: In this episode we talk about medical conditions and treatments. We are not doctors or medical professionals in any way so please do not use our advice for any medical decision - beyond getting yourself to your GP to get that shit sorted out.)

Kayte has her ranty cottontails on this week, with several things being On the List, including influencers being inappropriate. Kim reveals yet another stellar story from her childhood triggering one of the longest laughter tracks in Hot Flush history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
